What is a decisioning engine?

A system that evaluates context and selects optimal actions in real time, replacing static rule-based workflows with AI-powered decision logic.

What is a decision loop?

A continuous cycle: evaluate context → decide action → execute → measure outcome → learn → repeat. Loops run autonomously and improve over time.

How is this different from marketing automation?

Marketing automation executes pre-defined rules. A decisioning engine reasons over context and selects actions dynamically, including "do nothing" when appropriate.

What decisions can it make?

Audience selection, message/offer selection, channel routing, send timing, budget allocation, suppression, and next-best-action recommendations.

Does it work with our existing tools?

Yes. The decisioning engine sits above your activation tools (email, ads, CRM) and tells them what to do, orchestrating across channels.

How does it handle conflicting rules or goals?

AI weighs multiple objectives (conversion, LTV, margin, frequency caps) and selects the action that optimizes across constraints.

No. Every decision includes a full trace: signals evaluated, options considered, action selected, and reasoning. Fully auditable.

How fast are decisions made?

Milliseconds for real-time use cases (web personalization, ad bidding). Near-real-time for batch activations.
